Guest guest Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 Yep, we have this problem but giving Candex/Candigest near food means you'd be wasting your $. What I do and you could try, is give it while he is asleep, just before I go to bed and I make up a small amount of juice/water in a sprts bottle and leave it in his rom and he drinks that as soon as he wakes. He stays in his room until I go in so he can;t access food at this time unless of course he stashed some crackers somewhere LOL. I chelate and do night dosing so this is isn;t a problem for us. When we started out I would kiss him and nuzzle close and say quietly, I need you to drink your medicine, touch his lips and slot the lidded cup/sports bottle in. He will take it no problem, does not wake up and settles again straight away. You might have to practise for a week or two but most accept this fine when they get used to it.. Is he verba;? Will he understand if you tell him before bed what is happening? I sure he'll get used to it if it becomes routine. We do this with probiotics (CP1 which is an empty stomach type one) when we don't need the Candex to keep up the routine. Its is a useful 'skill' to have Mandi in UK I'm thinking about trying Candex with my DS for lingering yeast. The directions say 2 caps 1 hr before breakfast and 2 at bedtime, at least 2 hrs after eating. Always on an empty stomach. So here's the problem - I don't think there's ever a 2 hr period during the whole day that my son has an empty stomach! And breakfast is the first thing he wants in the morning. Does anyone else using Candex have this problem and can it still be used effectively? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 Mixed in liquid is fine Mandi in UK Thanks for the suggestion - that might work. We chelate also, so on round weekends it really wouldn't be a big deal. Can the candex be mixed with the liquid or does it need to be swallowed in the capsules?

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 I have always given it first thing in the morning, and my daughter eats right after that, and I also give it right before dinner. It works fine that way for us.--Tod > > I'm thinking about trying Candex with my DS for lingering yeast.
